Nautilushess Chocolate Fondant

Just How Nautilushess?

Well my picture does not do this gooey chocolately dessert justice! For one it looks a little burnt - in fact I assure you it wasn't!

This dessert... has a crispy delicate shell. Once pierced lightly with a fork it reveals a layer of soft cake within which oozes rich chocolately goodness. This one is not for the faint hearted! Nor is it the healthiest... but oh so delicious!

This is quick and very easy.

Please note this is not a vegan recipe.

Ingredients (for 2 servings)

40 grams white sugar / caster sugar
75 grams butter (I used semi-salted)
75 grams dark chocolate - roughly chopped
1 free range egg yolk
1 whole free range egg
1/2 tbsp plain flour

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180C. Grease two small moulds.
2. Place a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, and melt the sugar, butter and chocolate - gently stirring.
3. Once melted, remove from heat.
4. Whisk together until combined.
5. Add eggs and beat well.
6. Fold in the flour.
7. Pour the mixture into the moulds and place in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
8. Bake in the oven for 8 - 9 minutes.
N.B: Depending on your mould you may be able to tip your fondant upside down onto a plate for an ideal display.
